Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has said he is determined to end police brutality, introduce reforms and bring "erring personnel... to justice".

His comments came after two days of protests sparked by a video of a man allegedly being killed by police.

The protest movement initially targeted the federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (Sars), widely accused of unlawful arrests, torture and murder.

England and Manchester United striker, Marcus Rashford has been honored by Queen Elizabeth II in recognition of his campaign against child poverty during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a statement, Rashford said: "I'm incredibly honoured and humbled. As a young black man from Wythenshawe, never did I think I would be accepting an MBE, never mind an MBE at the age of 22. This is a very special moment for myself and my f…

Trump claims that James, a three-time NBA champion, is a “hater” who is messing up professional basketball. His words come from an appearance he made on “The Rush Limbaugh Show” when 45 blamed the NBA’s declining ratings on the league’s support of Black Lives Matter. “The NBA has become so political that nobody cares about it anymore,” said Trump. “I don’t even know who’s playing in the Finals.” James is taking the Los Angeles Lakers to the NBA Finals, and they are set to go against the Miami Heat. While Trump is talking all that stuff, he says he hasn’t even met James but insists that he’s “nasty.” “LeBron is a spokesman for the democratic party and a very nasty spokesman,” Trump said. He went on to talk about all the things he believes he’s done for the Black community. “Because, again, I’ve done so much for the Black community and people don’t wanna see that a…
